The People's Republic of Riotania is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Overseer van Riot with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, complete lack of prisons, and flagrant waste-dumping. The compassionate, cheerful population of 15.905 billion Riotanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Prestatyn. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Riotanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,673 trillion Cashdollas a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,093 Cashdollas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and grumpy old house owners demand that pedestrians get off their footpaths. Crime is totally unknown. Riotania's national animal is the penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Riotania is ranked 27,634^th in the world and 47^th in United Kingdom for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,971.25 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
